Mucho gusto mis amigas latinas!

I am Mexican-American,

or maybe it should be

American-Mexican? LOL.

Things are a little watered down, as I am second generation born in the USA.

My grandparents all came from beautiful Mexico.

Growing up, we spoke English in our home.

When I visited my 'ma' , (who also learned English right away-this generation came at the time many immigrants from many countries came over and they all wanted to assimilate)
she would speak to me in Spanish, and I would answer her in English. This is the worst thing to do!

I have spent the last 10 years studying/learning to speak Espanol properly.
I went to the local community college.
I did a Berlitz blitz.
Then I went to Cuernavaca to attend an immersion school.
Lucky for me the family I stayed with had 3 dogs. Two schnauzers (Cejas & Frida) and one yorkie named Pancho!

NOw, it comes and it goes. Sometimes I can really crank it out, and other times I am lost. Never mind that my mom speaks it fluently.

One thing is for sure, the more chances I have to practice, the better it gets.

It gets even better after a Modelo chilada!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world.

Mexican food is the best and my favorite, and Mexico is also my favorite place to vacation. I love the Mexican hospitality.

And Espanol is the prettiest language too!
